 This paper discusses the development of a community-based research network, CBIAN, to address the lack of evidence-based programs for people aging with long-term physical disabilities, PAWLTPD. The authors propose using the practice-based research network, PBIAN, model to draw together aging and disability organizations to create a collaborative environment for conducting research and providing education. After a year of operation, the CBIAN has successfully recruited nine organizations across the state of Missouri and has already begun its first research project.
